Vinyl Siding first appeared in the 1950's as a competitor to the popular aluminum cladding of the time. It was a mono-extrusion product, meaning the same material all the way through, and the inconsistency in manufacture made it difficult to repeat the same color tones with each batch. The co-extrusion method made better color matching and UV protection. In co-extrusion siding is made out of two layers of vinyl. The outside layer contains an ultraviolet resistant vinyl while the inside part has less of the UV ingredient which makes it cheaper to make. This is why co-extrusion requires special equipment for the duality in the manufacture: tools and training expense. But the end product is cheaper to produce than the old mono-extrusion.

May diminish home value: An historic home in an old neighborhood reclad with vinyl may turn off prospective buyers or lessen the price

Hard to match after a few years: Vinyl will fade over time and replacement pieces will be difficult to match

Pieces have to overlap for long walls leaving gaps for wind, insects and air to get in

For all its warts vinyl is here to stay. The thicker siding will stand up the best and try to choose a color and style that can stand for the next 20 years. Properly installed it should last as long or more than any of the other products.
